The Accessibility Tools Framework (ACTF) is an incubation phase project that is a subproject of the Eclipse Technology Project.<br/>
ACTF is a framework that serves as an extensible infrastructure upon which developers can build a variety of utilities
that help to evaluate and enhance the accessibility of applications and content for people with disabilities.
A collection of example utilities will also be provided which were created on top of the framework such as compliance validation tools,
assistive technology simulation applications, usability visualization tools, unit-testing utilities, and alternative accessible interfaces for applications.

<h3 id="rampdown">Ramp Down</h3>
For M7, we plan to be functionally complete. After RC1 is released, builds will be produced weekly until the release.
In the RC phase only bugs marked P2 or higher or severity major or higher will be fixed.
APIs will not change except to address critical issues, until RC3, at which point APIs will be frozen.

<p><a href="#toc">Table of Contents</a></p><h2><a name="compatibility">Compatibility with Previous Releases</a></h2><div>
The goal of this release is to be backward compatible back to ACTF 0.8.
</div><p><a href="#toc">Table of Contents</a></p><h2><a name="themes_and_priorities">Themes and Priorities</a></h2><p>
ACTF Visualization part has been designed as building blocks for RCP applications.
In this release, we start to support new accessibility guidelines, such as WCAG 2.0 and JIS X 8341-3:2010.
We will also improve coverage of documentation and usability of user interfaces.
